How To Design A Modular Kitchen

Kitchen is an intrinsic part of every house and a place where a lot of time is spent. Kitchen should always design for convenience and functionality. Nowadays more and more people are investing money on kitchen design to ensure that it looks classy, stylish and contemporary.

Do you know in a well planned –modular kitchen, a large amount of storage can be created even in a small space? Though it required little expenses, a modular kitchen is easy to maintain and install. Even repair work in such type of kitchen can take place easily as the individual part can be replaced without affecting the other components of the kitchen.

It is easier to plan for a modular kitchen design from the scratch and also from the existing kitchen, if you want to remodel it in a modern way.  The modular kitchen comprises of multiple units including floor units, overhead cabinets, and other storages.

The list of things you should make sure before installing a modular kitchen:-

Design –
The design of the modular kitchen depends a lot on the kind of space available in your kitchen area. Do not blindly imitate the kitchen you see in the showroom. Instead understand the needs and designs your kitchen accordingly. Depending on the space of the kitchen, there are 5 layouts of the kitchen :-

  • Straight
  • L shape
  • Parallel Shape
  • U Shape
  • Full Rectangle Shape with opening for door

Depending on the overall size, a kitchen island can be added to each of these layouts. All the appliances can be integrated within the layout.

Storage -

Always ensures to use the kitchen area intelligently to create maximum storage space. Storage requirements need to be analysed in order to plan drawers, shelf cabinets or tall units. The overhead storage cabinets are good way to create extra space. Always, remember not to clutter your kitchen, instead classify your storage area according to your needs.

Choose a right Countertop

The counter tops is one of the most important things that need attention, it determines the longevity of the kitchen. The choice of the material depends upon the cooking done in your house. One has a variety of material to choose from the granite solid surface, artificial stone such as Cesar stone etc. The granite surface gives the best value of money.

Choosing right appliances and accessories –

The modular kitchen designs gives proper space for the installation of all the modern utilities like dish dryer, dishwasher, oven etc.  While choosing the modern appliances always ensures to pick the appliances that choose your needs.

The Kitchen work triangle –

The kitchen work triangle is the placement of the cooktop, sink and the fridge in a practical way and accessible way within the standard gap in the kitchen.  The kitchen island increases the efficiency of kitchen.

Choose the right material

The kind of material you choose affects the cost of building. Remember not to choose material solely on price.  The important points to remember for choosing material for construction:-

  • Take accurate measurements of the height and depth of the cabinets, and also measure the length of counter tops.
  • Use durable material to withstand heat, scratches and splashes of liquids while cooking. Durable material such as steel, glass, PVC, stone and wood would always be a good choice.
  • Do the flooring with ceramic tiles or vinyl, or even laminate as they give value for money.

Proper Ventilation :-

It is always important to keep in mind the ventilation and safety concerns while planning your kitchen space. The modular kitchen gets the provision of using chimney, adding one would be beneficial as it would suck out the entire fumes and smoke, and keep the kitchen smoke free.

Conclusion -

Is not turning your old boring kitchen into modular kitchen is easy. Hope the above guidelines will help you to get a sophisticated and classy kitchen. At times the kitchen design needs to be constructed according to person height and not as per the standards. Hence I would also recommend you to hire a professional designer for a flawless modular kitchen designing.
